Your source for gentle gum care.
Why are healthy gums so important? Most people think that if they take good care of their teeth, they’ll keep them for a lifetime. That’s only partially true — good gum care is just as important.

The fact is, the leading cause of tooth loss isn’t cavities, it’s gum disease. Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease and, if left untreated, it can lead to the more serious condition periodontitis. The result of periodontitis can be tooth loss.

To help you keep that smile — not to mention the ability to bite and chew — it’s essential to keep your gums healthy. That’s where our dentist comes in. With his extensive training and gentle gum care, he can ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles.

We now know that with proper gum care, you can keep your teeth well into old age, and perhaps your entire life. And as dental technology advances, your options become easier, more affordable and more effective.

The dedicated staff and doctors provide you with the very latest periodontal therapy available. They painstakingly research the effectiveness of new methods to bring you only those that provide better, faster results, such as:

• Deep scaling and root planing to restore your gums without surgery
• Procedures to make “too long” or “too short” teeth look normal
• Tissue regeneration to restore your youthful gum lines

Your source for quick, virtually painless root canals.
Root canal Myth #1: “They hurt!”
We’d be the first to acknowledge that root canal treatment has a reputation for being painful, but we’d be the last to agree that this reputation is deserved. It seems most likely that a majority of the derogatory remarks you hear in regard to root canal treatment must include references to that period of pain and discomfort the person experienced leading up to their need for the treatment. For the average person and the average case, root canal treatment is a nonevent and not any more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.

Root canal Myth #2: “They take too many visits.”
Because our dentist is a specialist, 90% of his root canals require just one visit. Patients can often be heard saying, “That wasn’t as bad as I thought.“ Your root canal will be performed by a root canal specialist Dr. Alexander Milne is an endodontist (a specialist in root canals). He has received additional training specific to root canals and possesses unique knowledge of dental biology to ensure your root canal is virtually painless.
